Assurance on Monday morning

Here are some reminders from Scripture that our hope is in what Jesus has done once for all time, not in what we have done or will do:

Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit (John 19:30).

For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens; who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up himself (Heb. 7:27-27).

For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God . . . (I Peter 3:18a).

Take comfort – and live boldly with the bedrock assurance of this truth.
